EDIT I-want-to-be-a-domain-collector.com
I'm getting pretty bored these days. Not to say I have plenty of time to be bored, but I do have a lot of time to sit around and think.

Well, I'll go ahead and say I got a new job working as a webmaster for a local ITS company. Given the nature of the company, there is a swarm of domains to keep track of. Seeing list after list of domain names, it got me in the state of mind of wanting to purchase multiple domains for myself. To do this, I'll have to register them with godaddy.com rather than my normal DDNS service. I'll save almost 25 bucks.

There are many domains I can buy, and if marketed in the right place, I could sell them on ebay for a respectable return, or domains which I wanted to get for a good while now.

But it comes back down to the whole DNS thing. GoDaddy.com has no DNS services that I know of, outside of their hosting, and if they did, I don't see it being DDNS. Therefore, I will have to do my own DNS hosting along with my http hosting. I can do that, my technical skills isn't in question, but I can't quite do that with a dynamic IP address....or even one single IP address. I would need AT LEAST three static IP addresses: one for each DNS servers, and at least one more for the webserver. But really, I would want at least one other one for my gateway to keep them separated. Technically, it won't be necessary, but it would ease possible problems in the future, and that would keep me from having to use a split DNS for the internal network.

Don't understand anything from the last paragraph? That's fine, keep using Internet Explorer.

But anyway, I would like to buy a simple domain that I may be able to use in the future to do the testing. Again, no clues, but it's right under your nose. I will be able to stay the course with how I have things set up with axlebath.net, and still be able to test the waters with hosting my own DNS. It'll be tricky, but not too difficult to keep separated. Either that, or say screw it and dive right into it at full throttle.

But first thing's first, got to see about multiple static IPs.
